Empire Persistent in Arkanis Sector

NAJIBA SYSTEM - Once again the Empire has proven to be persistent in its effort to pacify the Arkanis Sector, as more ISB missions to win the hearts and minds prove undeterred by Rebel attempts to thwart mission.

Despite cowardly rebel attacks on shuttles bound for worlds of the Arkanis Sector, the Imperial Navy has landed a number of missions on planets not far from the Corellian Run trade route. ISB agents are making contact with local officials to persuade them to remain loyal to the Empire and to reject criminal and rebel activity.

"While we are escorted by Naval fighter craft, these are civilian missions with diplomatic intentions," ISB agents told HNN reporters accompanying the dangerous sortie to Najiba.

"Thank goodness for the navy's prowess or our peaceful missions would have been murdered, like the mission sent to Huldamun," the agent said, referring to one of the missions that had been lost.

According to footage recovered from the debris of the Lambda-class shuttle assigned to Huldamun, the attack had been conducted by a flight of rebel heavy fighters of the "B-wing" type. Flights of this type, frequently accompanied by a single z-95 "Headhunter" fighter, surplus from the Clone War, have been harrying Imperial forces from some time, forcing naval strategists to come up with a counter to this heavy fighter craft.
